+ Improving public health data infrastructure through flexible, modern + approaches to cloud services +

+
+
+ +

The challenge

+ + + To efficiently process ever-growing amounts of data, public + health jurisdictions need to integrate modern digital services — + like cloud hosting — into their data environment. With cloud + hosting, jurisdictions can more flexibly acquire the computing + infrastructure they need to modernize aging data systems or add + new data management capabilities as needs evolve. It can also + help them scale their infrastructure to handle the high volumes + and intermittent flow of public health data, especially during a + public health crisis. + + + While many jurisdictions recognize the need for transitioning to + a robust and secure cloud environment, they often face obstacles + to adoption. For example, they may lack the internal technical + capacity to successfully migrate their data infrastructure to + the cloud. Not only that, hosting cloud infrastructure isn't + free. Neither is the cost of maintaining these systems. + Maintenance requires dedicated IT personnel and consistent + funding, which aren't always available. As a result, public + health jurisdictions that want to leverage cloud hosting to + scale and upgrade their data systems with modern software + solutions are often stuck without the means to do so. + + + +
+
+ +

The solution

+ + + The DIBBs team is working to enable public health jurisdictions + with modern cloud hosting infrastructure through CDC's centrally + hosted Azure cloud environment. By leveraging this CDC-hosted + cloud environment, jurisdictions can access the DIBBs portfolio + of products to modernize their data systems without the cost and + maintenance burdens of having to host their own cloud + infrastructure locally. CDC's cloud environment follows the same + security and privacy policies as other widely used, externally + facing CDC applications like SimpleReport and ReportStream. + Onboarding, updates, and scaling are quick and free. + + + While hosting with CDC's cloud infrastructure offers a range of + benefits (e.g., lower costs, fewer maintenance burdens), some + jurisdictions face obstacles with regulatory compliance and data + security. These jurisdictions may prefer a hybrid approach, + leveraging aspects of a centrally hosted cloud environment while + maintaining other parts of their data infrastructure in a + self-hosted environment. With a hybrid approach, jurisdictions + can choose to manage how their data is fed to the + centrally-hosted environment for processing — without CDC + hosting or retaining the data. To enable these more flexible, + hybrid options for hosting DIBBs infrastructure, we've leveraged + Octopus Deploy, an industry-renowned deployment tool, that + allows us to treat each jurisdiction with the individuality it + needs. For example, our software can go directly to + jurisdictions with the proper permission and legal agreements, + without the need for their IT departments to manually install + updates. + + + For jurisdictions who would like full control over their + infrastructure and to host DIBBs services directly, we've also + created a series of Terraform templates. These templates, which + are available in our open-source repository, allow DevOps + personnel at a jurisdiction to rapidly assemble a fresh cloud + infrastructure from prewritten modules. We've also provided + searchable documentation to make the process even easier. By + meeting jurisdictions where they're at from a compliance or data + security standpoint, our DIBBs hosting options move them a step + closer to adopting cloud technology (either in their own cloud + environment or in the centrally hosted CDC environment). + Ultimately, by providing flexible and accessible options for + cloud hosting, we hope to enable resource-constrained + jurisdictions with the tools to build modern, scalable disease + surveillance infrastructure that can be used for both daily and + emergent public health action. + + + +

The results

+ +
  • + Successfully deployed DIBBs infrastructure to a centrally hosted + CDC cloud environment +
    • +
  • + Working with the CDC to make centrally hosted DIBBs products + available to interested pilot partners +
    • +
  • + Onboarding four potential public health jurisdictions (Alabama, + Idaho, Dallas, and Chicago) to pilot centrally hosted DIBBs + infrastructure +
    • +
  • + Rolled out a proof-of-concept deployment engine that would + facilitate updates and improvements to locally hosted DIBBs + software +
